FWIW, and as noted in my original email, I got to re-read this document
as a result of the recent thread "Security: Unique IPv6 Prefix per Host"
on v6ops (the Subject caught my eyes).

Based on the discussion in v6ops, I decided to re-read the document in
question. And when I did, Oct 31, I asked the group if this wasn't a
protocol spec
(<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/v6ops/33uJaFp2OK__oAPUHtFMkMstRT4/?qid=0dbbac2c1c98334231cf7c1d2bbb326b>).
There was no response on-list.


I tried to track when the text on Section 4 was added, and it seems to
have happened on Sept 14
(<https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host-09.txt>),
way after IETF Last Call, and apparently also after some IESG members
have balloted on this document.

Certainly I wished that my timing would have been better.. but it looks
like even if I had reviewed this document during the IETF LC, I wouldn't
have caught this, since the change was applied *after* IETF LC. It even
seems to have been applied after Suresh cleared his DISCUSS.

Thanks,
